Many patients come to Bela Family Dentistry of White Knoll suffering from sore facial muscles, which they most commonly experience after awakening each morning. Many of these patients also have teeth that are worn down or even flat as a result of nighttime teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism). Some patients also have discomfort in their jaw joints and facial muscles, migraines, and pain that radiates down their neck, shoulders, and back. If you’re having any of these symptoms, there’s a strong chance you need some adjustments. For your mouth to work normally and comfortably, your jaw joints, muscles, and teeth must all move in harmony. When problems arise in one area, they can greatly impact other areas as well. This is why so many people with bruxism also suffer from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, a misalignment of the joints that connect your jaw to your skull and enable your mouth to move. We can remedy your bruxism and muscle soreness in your face with our personalized TMJ treatment in Lexington, SC. These custom solutions include oral appliances, bite adjustments, and TMJ treatment with orthodontics. Restoring a harmonious balance between your joints, muscles, and teeth is usually all that’s required for you to reclaim a comfortable and fully functional life!
